Who We Are

Smart Safe Science Inc. (3S) is a team of Canadian engineers, designers, and manufacturers headquartered in Bracebridge, Ontario. 3S is partnered with leading Canadian universities and research institutes to bring new and innovative wearable safety products to life in Canada.

When the shortage of PPE was first identified as a problem here in Canada, 3S quickly deployed its design team to develop products to meet this market demand. Behind the scenes, we were able to develop products and assemblies quickly with sustainability in mind as our material suppliers are sourced from within Canada. While other manufacturers and suppliers run into supply and shipping delays, 3S is truly a Canadian company from fit to finish.
